Hello,
In Publishing 2.3, it looks like <license> and <permissions> are
equally-nested under <article-meta> (when looking at the Document Hierarchy
Diagrams), although the description of <license> within the tag library
says "Best practice is to use the <license> element only within the
container element <permissions>. The <license> element is allowed outside
the permissions wrapper only for reasons of backwards compatibility."

In Publishing 3.0, the description of the <license> element does not have
the same description, but the Document Hierarchy Diagram indicates that
<license> should be nested within <permissions> only.

Was there a distinct change from 2.3 to 3.0 that moved <license> within
<permissions>?  If so, what was the reason for the change?

In JATS, it also looks like <license> should be contained within
<permissions>, so it looks like the change occurred between 2.3 and 3.0.

Thanks,
Brenda
